Puolasmaa A. & Kuusisto I. (2024): Report of 27 lichenicolous fungi species and three genera new to Finland - Karstenia, 61(2): 9–19

We studied systematically herbaria lichen specimens collected from Finland and from former Finnish parts of Russia to detect lichenicolous fungi. In total, 3355 lichen specimens were found with lichenicolous fungi from 160 taxa. We report here 27 species and three genera that are new to Finland. Three of these, Cercidospora epithamnolia, Cyclothyrium sp. and Roselliniella stereocaulorum, are reported as also new to Scandinavia. Three taxa are reported from a new host. Keywords: lichenicolous … Read more...

Farkas E., Xu M., Muhoro A.M., Szabó K., Lengyel A., Heiðmarsson S., Viktorsson E.Ö. & Ólafsdóttir E.S. (2024): The algal partnership is associated with quantitative variation of lichen specific metabolites in Cladonia foliacea from Central and Southern Europe - Symbiosis, 92: 403–419

Lichen specific metabolites (LSMs) have interesting biological activities and quantitative variations may be present intraspecifically. For example, variations in medullary fumarprotocetraric acid (FA) and cortical usnic acid (UA) were observed in the lichen Cladonia foliacea, but the mechanism of variation is not well understood. The current study aimed to characterise the quantitative variation of FA and UA and to investigate the association between lichen metabolite content and ecological / biological … Read more...

Pushpavathi D. & Krishnamurthy Y.L. (2024): Study on endolichenic fungal assemblage in Parmotrema and Heterodermia lichens of Shivamoga, Karnataka - Molecular Biological Reports, 51: 549 [14 p.]

Background: Lichen is a symbiotic association of algae and fungi, recognized as a self-sustaining ecosystem that constitutes an indeterminant number of bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and protozoa. We evaluated the endolichenic fungal assemblage given the dearth of knowledge on endolichenic fungi (ELFs), particularly from part of the Central Western Ghats, Karnataka, and conducted a phylogenetic analysis of xylariaceous fungi, the most diversified group of fungi using ITS and ITS+Tub2 gene set. Results: … Read more...

Zakhozhiy I.G. & Shelyakin M.A. (2024): Accumulation and localization of metals in lichen thallus under conditions of dust pollution during open mining of boxite deposits - Russian Journal of Ecology, 55: 32–41

We studied the accumulation and localization of metals in the foliose lichens Lobaria pulmonaria, Hypogymnia physodes, and Peltigera aphthosa, living in the impact zone of the Sredne-Timansky bauxite mine. A significant accumulation of Al (16–19 g/kg), Fe (16–20 g/kg), and Ti (0.3–0.7 g/kg) by thalli was revealed. From 29 to 82% of the total content of these metals is localized in dust particles weakly attached to the surface of the thalli. The total proportion of intra- and extracellularly … Read more...

Bukabayeva Z., Abiyev S., Silybayeva B. & Ivachshenko O. (2024): The impact of climate aridification on rare lichen communities - Biosystems Diversity, 32(1): 142-149

The global diversity of approximately 25,000 lichen species (e.g., from the genera Usnea, Cladonia, and Peltigera), including rare and endangered ones, highlights the importance of preserving their population in the State National Nature Park “Burabay”. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of rare lichen species in the territory of the State National Nature Park “Burabay,” located in the Akmola region of Kazakhstan, in the period from 2018 to 2022, with a particular … Read more...

Muchnik E., Cherepenina D., Tsurykau A., Blagoveschenskaya E. & Gudkova E. (2024): New, rare, and interesting lichenological records in Moscow and Moscow Region (European Russia) - Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii, 58: L69–L80

This paper provides data on 26 new, rare, and interesting species of lichens discovered in the city of Moscow and Moscow Region during the field studies in 2014–2022, of which 21 species are new to the study area. Fellhaneropsis vezdae is new to the European part of Russia, and Briancoppinsia cytospora, Thelidium minimum, and Verrucaria inaspecta are new to the Central Russia. The list of lichens and allied fungi of the city of Moscow and Moscow Region currently includes 493 species. Read more...

Partemi R., Debortoli N., Martínez A., Kamburska L., Souffreau C., Matheve H., Vantieghem P., De Meester L., van Doninck K., Merckx T. & Fontaneto D. (2024): Weak effect of urbanization on bdelloid rotifers living in lichens - R Soc Open Sci, 11(4): 231978

Human activities have an overwhelming impact on the natural environment, leading to a deep biodiversity crisis whose effects range from genes to ecosystems. Here, we analysed the effect of such anthropogenic impacts on bdelloid rotifers (Rotifera Bdelloidea), for whom these effects are poorly understood. We targeted bdelloid rotifers living in lichen patches across urbanization gradients in Flanders and Brussels (Belgium). Urbanization was measured as the percentage of built-up area (BU) across different … Read more...

Reyhangul M., Haiying Y., Dolathan T. & Tumur A. (2024): Diversity of macrolichens in the Barluk Mountain National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China - BIO Web of Conferences, 100: 02024

The Barluk Mountain National Nature Reserve of Xinjiang, China is known as a paradise of wildlife, that includes a great diversity of lichens attributed to its unique geology and geography that enhances the value for study and conservation. From 2021 to 2023, surveys were undertaken to determine the diversity of macrolichens in relation to altitude in all parts of the Nature Reserve. A total of 670 macrolichens were collected of which 106 taxa were identified as distinct and comprised of of 102 species, … Read more...

Rakhimova Y., Kyzmetova L., Sypabekkyzy G. & Myrzakhan A. (2024): Current state of the species composition of mycobiota in South-East Kazakhstan - BIO Web of Conferences, 100: 04038

To date, no information has been available on the species composition of fungi in southeastern Kazakhstan, the center of agrobiodiversity but also home to rare and endemic species. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the diversity of fungi, fungus-like organisms, and lichens in southeastern Kazakhstan. The scientific and practical significance of the work is to obtain data on the species composition of mycobiota, which will allow planning measures for its monitoring, protection and restoration. … Read more...

Li M., Meng J., Lin D., Xu P., Wang L., Hu Y., Qin C., Zhao L., Xia Y., Zhang L. & Liu H. (2024): Active Biomonitoring of Atmospheric Element Deposition in the Heating Period of Tangshan Using Ramalina sinensis - POLISH JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, 33(4): 1-12

Tangshan is known as a typical heavy industrial city with serious atmospheric pollution. It suffers the most serious atmospheric pollution during the winter heating period. This study aims to explore the level and spatial distribution of atmospheric element deposition in the study area and validate the suitability of Ramalina sinensis (RSI) as an active biomonitor in North China cities. RSI was transplanted to Tangshan in winter (Dec. 2016- Mar. 2017) and exposed for 17 weeks. The concentration of … Read more...
